Catch the Wave 2026 is less than a month away!

We’re counting down to the 2026 RCA Circular Economy Conference, happening October 21–23 at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

  • A plenary on industrial circularity, featuring voices from across Alberta’s heavy industry
  • Hands-on GHG Management Training with ECO Canada
  • The Circular Marketplace – vendors, artists and makers turning waste into wonderful
